Nick will do best with a well structured home. It is also recommended that Nick be the youngest child and would be best matched with a family who has a strong male figure in the home. He needs a family who is knowledgeable and skilled in working with children with special challenges. A family who is able to access community resources will be best. His family will need to ensure he receives needed services. Possible sibling contact with his older brother may be considered in the future.
